I wonder, would the damage barrier from the demonhide armor power the pentagram?
Quote from: "Archwizard07" post=6341Reverse Magic and or Reverse Attack
There is nothing better than seeing the smug look on an opponent's face as they throw down drain life or a fireball and then watching it melt away when you flip over a reverse card. Do that twice in a game and you can throw down a decoy and bask in thier indecision over risking another spell at you....
Reverse Magic doesn't help against Attack Spells, as they are not enchantments nor incantations. So while you could reverse that Drain Life, the fireball is going to roast your mage. Or do I have that wrong?
Reverse Magic:
When this creature is targeted by an incantation or enchantment spell controlled by an opponent, you must reveal Reverse Magic during the Counter Spell Step. You take control of that spell. Redirect it back to the caster, who now becomes the target of the spell. If the spell cannot target the caster, it is countered. Then, destroy Reverse Magic.
reading jinx and mage wand leads me to believe the spell should go back to the book.
a) neither wand nor spellbind says anything about a copy of the bound spell. it specifically states you my cast the spell bound to it.
b) jinx literally states in the card effect that the spell needs to be returned to the book. this overrides normal behavior. IE normally the spell would go to the discard. in the wands case it normal just stays on the wand. jinx overrides this normal behavior
c) i see no reason to not allow this utility in jinx
d) i see no reason that a quick action + 3 mana could not be done to simply reapply the spell to an empty wand.
Quote from: "baronzaltor" post=6617So in the case of Steal Equipment, would it "reset" the binding on the new attachment or can he opt to keep the current spell since one is present?
It seems to me that the attached spell should be destroyed and the caster of Steal Equipment should bind their own spell to the wand. My reasoning is kind of hard to explain, but I'll do my best to make it comprehensible.
1) Stealing the equipment should give you the abilities of that equipment. The ability of a wand is to allow you to cast a spell you know, and have thoroughly studied, multiple times, instead of just once. So to have a wand that now lets you cast an unfamiliar spell seems wrong to me from a flavor standpoint.
2) The implications of stealing the spell seem weird to me. A wand lets you change the bound spell for 3 mana, returning the previously bound spell to your spellbook. So, would you then get your opponents spell in your spellbook because you took his wand? Just another thing that seems a little illogical.
Obviously, there's not a lot of rules support in those arguments, as there is no precedence for this issue, hence the discussion. That's just how I would rule it if it came up in a game and there was no official ruling.
